[0043] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0045] Some embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device, which may specifically be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 14 As shown, some embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device including a box 1, a tub 2, a door 6, and a filter device 4.

[0047] The container 1 has a clothing inlet 12; the container 2 is located inside the container 1 and has a clothing processing chamber that communicates with the clothing inlet 12, allowing users to put clothing into the clothing processing chamber through the clothing inlet 12. The door 6 is connected to the container 1 and is used to close or open the clothing inlet 12.

[0048] The filter device 4 includes a mounting body 41 and a filter screen 42. The mounting body 41 has a first communication port that communicates with the garment processing chamber, and the filter screen 42 is detachably installed in the mounting body 41. In this way, during the garment processing, lint generated in the garment processing chamber can enter the mounting body 41 through the first communication port, so as to filter the lint through the filter screen 42 installed in the mounting body 41.

[0049] The filter screen 42 can be connected to the door body 6 and rotates with the door body 6. When the door body 6 is opened, the filter screen 42 is pulled out from the mounting body 41, and when the door body 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41. That is to say, the filter screen 42 can be pulled out from the mounting body 41 as the door body 6 is opened, and the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 as the door body 6 is closed.

[0050] This design enables the filter screen 42 to be linked with the door 6. When the door 6 is opened, the filter screen 42 can be pulled out along with it, allowing users to easily see the degree of dirt on the filter screen 42 and clean it in a timely manner. This ensures the filter screen 42 is clean and prevents excessive lint from accumulating and clogging it. Furthermore, after each wash or dry, the filter screen 42 is pulled out simultaneously when the door is opened to remove the clothes, eliminating the need for additional disassembly and making the process more convenient for the user.

[0051] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the filter screen 42 can be fixedly connected to the door body 6, so that the filter screen 42 can always be linked with the door body 6. In specific implementation, the filter screen 42 can be fixed to the door body 6 by means of adhesive, screw connection, snap connection, etc. In order to facilitate cleaning of the filter screen 42, the filter screen 42 can be connected to the door body 6 in a detachable manner, so that the filter screen 42 can be removed for cleaning, and then the filter screen 42 can be installed on the door body 6 after cleaning, so that the filter screen 42 can always be linked with the door body 6.

[0052] In other embodiments, the filter screen 42 may not be directly connected to the door body 6, or the filter screen 42 may be detachably connected to the door body 6. For example, the filter screen 42 and the door body 6 are connected magnetically. In specific implementations, a magnetic suction element can be provided on one of the door body 6 and the filter screen 42, and a magnetic induction element can be provided on the other. The user can place the filter screen 42 in the mounting body 41. When the door body 6 is closed, the magnetic suction element and the magnetic induction element are magnetically connected, thus connecting the door body 6 and the filter screen 42. When the door body 6 is opened, the door body 6 will pull the filter screen 42 out of the mounting body 41, allowing the user to observe the degree of dirt on the filter screen 42 and easily remove it from the door body 6 for cleaning. After cleaning, the user can directly place the filter screen 42 into the mounting body 41 for convenient installation. Alternatively, the filter screen 42 can be magnetically attached to the door body 6, and when the door body 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41. In addition, the door 6 and the filter screen 42 are not limited to magnetic connection. They can also be connected by hooks or other means, as long as the filter screen 42 can be pulled out of the mounting body 41 by opening the door 6.

[0053] In some embodiments, the mounting body 41 has an insertion port 413 for inserting a filter screen 42, and the insertion port 413 is positioned facing the door body 6 when the door body 6 is closed. That is, when the door body 6 is closed, the insertion port 413 is positioned facing the door body 6, so that the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 through the insertion port 413, or pulled out of the mounting body 41 through the insertion port 413.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with an installation port 11 that corresponds to and communicates with the insertion port 413. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed in the installation body 41 through the installation port 11 and the insertion port 413. When the door 6 is closed, the installation port 11 is sealed.

[0055] It should be understood that, in order to ensure the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance, the mounting body 41 is usually hidden inside the housing 1. The setting of the mounting port 11 forms a channel structure connecting the inside and outside of the housing 1, so that the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 installed in the housing 1 through the mounting port 11, and can also be pulled out from the mounting body 41 inside the housing 1 through the mounting port 11.

[0056] It should be noted that the clothing processing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application can be a washing machine, a washer-dryer combo, or a dryer.

[0057] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the garment processing equipment is a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo. The garment processing equipment includes a cabinet 1, a drum 2, a drain pump 3, and a filter device 4.

[0058] The container 1 has a clothing inlet 12; a bucket 2 is located inside the container 1, and the bucket 2 has a clothing processing chamber communicating with the clothing inlet 12. The bucket 2 also has a drain outlet 20 communicating with the clothing processing chamber. A drain pump 3 is connected to the drain outlet 20 to drain water from the bucket 2. In practice, to facilitate smooth water flow from the bucket 2, the drain outlet 20 can be located at the bottom of the bucket 2.

[0059] The filter device 4 is installed between the tank 2 and the drain pump 3 to filter the water flow discharged from the tank 2, that is, to filter the water flow before it enters the drain pump 3. This prevents clumps of lint or large pieces of material from the clothes from accumulating at the drain pump 3 when the water is discharged, which would cause the drain pump 3 to become clogged and cause the machine to malfunction.

[0060] Specifically, the filter device 4 includes a mounting body 41 and a filter screen 42. The mounting body 41 is a box-shaped body, and it is provided with a first connecting port 411 communicating with the drain outlet 20 and a second connecting port 412 communicating with the drain pump 3. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed inside the mounting body 41 and is located between the first connecting port 411 and the second connecting port 412. In this way, the water discharged from the drain outlet 20 of the tank 2 first enters the mounting body 41, is filtered by the filter screen 42, and then discharged by the drain pump 3.

[0061] Specifically, the housing 1 is provided with an installation port 11 corresponding to the mounting body 41. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed inside the mounting body 41 through the installation port 11 and is located between the first connecting port 411 and the second connecting port 412. That is to say, the filter screen 42 can be installed into the mounting body 41 through the installation port 11 on the housing 1, and can also be removed from the mounting body 41 through the installation port 11 on the housing 1. In this way, the filter screen 42 can be periodically removed from the mounting body 41 for cleaning, ensuring the cleanliness of the filter screen 42. This can effectively prevent the drain pump from becoming clogged, and thus avoid the problem of the drain pump overflowing outside and wetting the ground when cleaning the drain pump after it becomes clogged, which is troublesome to clean and causes poor user experience.

[0062] In practical implementation, taking a drum washer-dryer combo as an example, the housing 1 has a front sealing door 13, on which a clothing inlet 12 is provided. The door 6 is rotatably mounted on the front sealing door 13 to close or open the clothing inlet 12. To facilitate the removal and installation of the filter screen 42, the installation port 11 can be located on the front sealing door 13 of the housing 1. Specifically, the installation port 11 can be located in the sealing area of ​​the door 6. When the door 6 is closed, the installation port 11 on the housing 1 can be covered by the door 6 to prevent the installation port 11 from being exposed, thereby improving the appearance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0063] In addition, due to the setting of the filter device 4, the drainage pump 3 can be effectively prevented from getting clogged. Therefore, in the specific implementation, the removable cover plate left at the corresponding position of the front sealing door 13 and the drainage pump 3 can be omitted, so that one less exposed hole is opened on the surface of the box 1, making the overall appearance more beautiful.

[0064] It should be noted that, in specific implementations, the tub body 2 may include an inner tub 21 and an outer tub 22 fitted over the inner tub 21. The inner tub 21 forms a clothing handling chamber, and the drain outlet 20 is located at the bottom of the outer tub 22. Alternatively, the tub body 2 may consist of only one tub body, with the interior of the tub body 2 forming a clothing handling chamber and the drain outlet 20 located at the bottom of the tub body 2.

[0065] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drain outlet 20 of the housing 1 is connected to the drain pump 3 via a drain pipe 5, meaning that a drain pipe 5 connects the drain outlet 20 and the drain pump 3. In a specific implementation, the filter device 4 can be installed on the drain pipe 5. Specifically, the drain pipe 5 may include a first flexible pipe 51 and a second flexible pipe 52. The mounting body 41 of the filter device 4 has a first connecting port 411 and a second connecting port 412. The first connecting port 411 is connected to the drain outlet 20 via the first flexible pipe 51, and the second connecting port 412 is connected to the drain pump 3 via the second flexible pipe 52. This arrangement improves the flexibility of the mounting position of the mounting body 41 and reduces the precision requirements for the mounting position of the mounting body 41.

[0066] In specific implementations, the first flexible pipe 51 can be a corrugated pipe, and the second flexible pipe 52 can be a connecting hose. That is, the first connecting port 411 can be connected to the drain port 20 through a corrugated pipe, and the second connecting port 412 can be connected to the drain pump 3 through a connecting hose. Of course, in specific implementations, the connection between the first connecting port 411 of the mounting body 41 and the drain port 20 is not limited to a corrugated pipe; other flexible pipes such as connecting hoses can also be used for the connection. Similarly, the connection between the second connecting port 412 of the mounting body 41 and the drain pump 3 is not limited to a connecting hose; other flexible pipes such as corrugated pipes can also be used for the connection.

[0067] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the garment handling equipment includes a door 6, which is rotatably connected to a housing 1. The housing 1 has a garment inlet 12, and the door 6 is used to close or open the garment inlet 12. Specifically, a filter screen 42 is connected to the door 6 and rotates with it. When the door 6 is open, the filter screen 42 is pulled out from the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11; when the door 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11. In other words, the filter screen 42 is pulled out from the mounting body 41 as the door 6 is opened, and inserted into the mounting body 41 as the door 6 is closed.

[0068] This design allows the filter screen 42 to be pulled out along with the door 6 when the door is opened, enabling users to easily see the degree of dirt on the filter screen 42 and clean it promptly. This ensures the filter screen 42 is cleaned regularly and effectively prevents clogging of the drain pump 3. Furthermore, after each wash or dry, the filter screen 42 is automatically pulled out when the door 6 is opened to remove the clothes, eliminating the need for additional disassembly and making the process more convenient for the user.

[0069] Furthermore, the traditional design with a removable cover at the position of the front sealing door and the drain pump is not clearly indicated, and most users are unaware of this function. When problems arise, they tend to immediately report to after-sales service, causing delays in the use of the garment processing equipment. In the embodiment of this application, by connecting the filter screen 42 to the door body 6, and allowing the filter screen 42 to be pulled out with the door body 6 when it is opened, it is more intuitive and visible. Users can directly see the degree of dirt on the filter screen 42 and clean it promptly, reducing the likelihood of forgetting to clean it. This effectively prevents the drain pump 3 from becoming clogged and does not affect the normal use of the garment processing equipment.

[0070] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 has a front sealing door 13, with both the clothing inlet 12 and the mounting port 11 located on the front sealing door 13, and the mounting port 11 positioned below the clothing inlet 12. Specifically, a filter screen 42 is connected to the side surface of the door 6 facing the clothing inlet 12 and is flush with the mounting port 11 in the height direction of the clothing processing equipment. That is, the filter screen 42 connected to the door 6 and the mounting port 11 on the housing 1 are at the same height, ensuring that when the door 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11.

[0071] Furthermore, positioning the mounting port 11 below the clothing inlet 12 facilitates the adaptation to the locations of the drain outlet 20 and drain pump 3 on the housing 1, while ensuring that the placement of the mounting port 11 and filter screen 42 does not interfere with the user's normal operation of loading and unloading clothing through the clothing inlet 12. Additionally, when the door 6 is closed, it can cover the mounting port 11 on the housing 1 to prevent it from being exposed, thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0072] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the filter screen 42 has a connecting end and a plug-in end. The connecting end is connected to the door body 6, and the plug-in end extends outward from the connecting end in a direction away from the door body 6. In a specific implementation, in order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the filter screen 42 into the mounting body 41, the plug-in end of the filter screen 42 can extend horizontally outward from the connecting end in a direction away from the door body 6.

[0073] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, "suspension" means that the insertion end of the filter screen 42 is formed as a free end, and is set to extend away from the door body 6 relative to the connection end.

[0074] Continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the door 6 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a pivot. The filter screen 42 has a first side and a second side, with the first side positioned away from the pivot relative to the second side. The first side is formed into an arc-shaped structure 421. This arrangement allows the filter screen 42 to be smoothly inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11 during the rotation of the door 6.

[0075] In a specific implementation, the mounting body 41 can adopt a rectangular structure, and the mounting opening 11 is formed into a rectangular mounting opening 11 that matches the shape of the mounting body 41. If the filter screen 42 adopts a rectangular structure that matches the shape of the mounting body 41, then during the rotation of the door 6, the filter screen 42 cannot be smoothly inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11. In the above embodiment of this application, the side of the filter screen 42 away from the rotating shaft is set as an arc-shaped structure 421 to ensure that the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting opening 11.

[0076] Specifically, by setting the side of the filter screen 42 away from the rotating shaft as an arc-shaped structure 421, the first side of the filter screen 42 gradually moves closer to the second side of the filter screen 42 along the direction from the connecting end to the insertion end. That is, the width of the filter screen 42 gradually narrows along the direction from the connecting end to the insertion end. This setting is to avoid interference between the first side of the filter screen 42 and the mounting port 11 on the box 1 during the rotation of the door 6, thereby ensuring that the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the mounting body 41.

[0077] Of course, in specific implementation, the shape of the filter screen 42 is not limited to the above-mentioned limitations. It can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, as long as the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the installation body 41 through the installation port 11.

[0078] In some embodiments, the mounting body 41 is provided with an insertion port 413 corresponding to and communicating with the mounting port 11, and the mounting body 41 forms a mounting recess 414 at the insertion port 413; the filter screen 42 includes a filter screen body 422 and a mounting protrusion 423, the mounting protrusion 423 is connected to the door body 6, the filter screen body 422 has a connecting end and a plug-in end, the connecting end is connected to the mounting protrusion 423, and the plug-in end extends outward from the connecting end in a direction away from the door body 6. In a specific implementation, the filter screen 42 can extend horizontally outward from the door body 6.

[0079] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the mounting body 41 is provided with an insertion port 413 corresponding to and connected to the mounting port 11. The filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41 in sequence through the mounting port 11 and the insertion port 413.

[0080] Continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the mounting body 41 has a mounting recess 414 formed at the insertion port 413. The filter screen 42 includes a filter screen body 422 and a mounting protrusion 423. The mounting protrusion 423 is connected to the door body 6, and the filter screen body 422 is connected to the side of the mounting protrusion 423 facing away from the door body 6. A sealing rib 424 is provided on the mounting protrusion 423. The filter screen body 422 is inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11 and the insertion port 413 in sequence. The sealing rib 424 abuts against the mounting recess 414 to seal. This arrangement achieves a seal between the filter screen 42 at the mounting port 11 and the mounting body 41 through the abutment of the sealing rib 424 against the mounting recess 414, preventing water flowing into the mounting body 41 from overflowing from the mounting port 11.

[0081] In specific implementation, the sealing rib 424 can be an annular sealing rib. The annular sealing rib is set on the side surface of the mounting protrusion 423 facing the filter body 422 and surrounds the filter body 422 so that it abuts against the mounting platform 414 through the annular sealing rib to form a circumferential seal and ensure the reliability of the seal.

[0082] In some embodiments, the filter screen 42 is detachably connected to the door body 6. This arrangement allows the user to easily remove the filter screen 42 from the door body 6 for cleaning. Of course, in specific implementations, the filter screen 42 can also be fixed to the door body 6, meaning the user cannot remove the filter screen 42 from the door body 6. This avoids problems such as the user removing the filter screen 42 and then forgetting to install it, resulting in the inability to filter the discharged washing water using the filter device 4.

[0083] In some embodiments, refer to 6 to Figure 9 As shown, a support rib 415 is provided on the inner bottom of the mounting body 41. The filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41 and supported on the support rib 415. There are flow spaces 416 between the filter screen 42 and the inner top surface of the mounting body 41, and between the filter screen 42 and the inner bottom surface of the mounting body 41. Specifically, the first connecting port 411 of the mounting body 41 can be provided at the top of the mounting body 41 and communicate with the flow space 416 located above the filter screen 42. The second connecting port 412 can be provided at the bottom of the mounting body 41 and communicate with the flow space 416 located below the filter screen 42.

[0084] This arrangement ensures sufficient flow space 416 between the filter screen 42 and the inner top surface of the mounting body 41, as well as between the filter screen 42 and the inner bottom surface of the mounting body 41. This allows water entering the mounting body 41 through the first connection port 411 to have a larger contact area with the filter screen 42, improving filtration efficiency. Filtered water can also pass through the filter screen 42 over a larger area and flow into the flow space 416 below the filter screen 42 before being discharged through the second connection port 412, thus ensuring filtration efficiency.

[0085] In specific implementation, the mounting body 41 can adopt a rectangular structure, and the inner bottom of the mounting body 41 can be provided with an arc-shaped support rib that matches the shape of the filter screen 42, so that the filter screen 42 can be stably supported on the arc-shaped support rib.

[0086] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a support member 14 is provided on the bottom inner side of the housing 1, and the mounting body 41 is supported on the support member 14 and fixedly connected to the support member 14. This arrangement ensures that the mounting body 41 is stably installed inside the housing 1.

[0087] In a specific implementation, the housing 1 may include a base 15, on which a support member 14 may be provided. The mounting body 41 is supported on the support member 14 and fixedly connected to it. Specifically, the support member 14 may be a support column provided on the base 15. There may be multiple support columns; for example, there are three support columns spaced apart on the base 15. Three connecting ears are spaced apart on the outer circumference of the mounting body 41. The three connecting ears are respectively supported on the tops of the three support columns and are fixedly connected to the three support columns one by one by fasteners. This arrangement not only enables the mounting body 41 to be fixedly installed on the base 15, but also creates a receiving space between the three support columns for accommodating the connecting hose, facilitating the laying and installation of the connecting hose.

[0088] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the garment processing equipment is a dryer or a washer-dryer combo. A drying tunnel is provided inside the housing 1, and the drying tunnel has an inlet communicating with the garment processing chamber. A drying tunnel filter is installed at the inlet. To distinguish the drying tunnel in this embodiment from the drying tunnel in the following embodiments, the drying tunnel in this embodiment can be referred to as the first drying tunnel. That is, a first drying tunnel 7 is provided inside the housing 1, and the first drying tunnel 7 has an inlet communicating with the garment processing chamber. A drying tunnel filter 8 is installed at the inlet.

[0089] This configuration allows the air entering the first drying tunnel 7 to be filtered by the drying tunnel filter 8, thereby preventing lint, rags, etc. from entering the first drying tunnel 7 and affecting its cleanliness, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the structural components (such as the fan) inside the first drying tunnel 7.

[0090] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the inlet of the first drying tunnel 7 is located at the rear end of the barrel 2 to avoid interference with structures such as the drain pump located at the front end of the barrel 2.

[0091] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 11As shown, the drying tunnel inlet is located near the bottom of the tub 2 to flush the drying tunnel filter 8 with washing water during the washing process. By placing the drying tunnel filter 8 near the bottom of the tub 2, the washing water can flow to the drying tunnel filter 8 during the washing process, thereby flushing the filter 8 with washing water and removing lint, scraps, etc. from the filter 8 into the washing water, keeping the filter 8 clean. This allows the lint, scraps, etc. to be discharged into the drain pump 3, where the washing water is filtered by the filter device 4. Then, by removing the filter screen 42 of the filter device 4, the lint, scraps, etc. are removed to the outside of the garment processing equipment, preventing lint, scraps, etc. from entering the first drying tunnel 7 and preventing them from clogging the drain pump 3.

[0092] It should be noted that, in practice, the drying tunnel filter 8 can also be detachably installed at the inlet of the drying tunnel. This allows the drying tunnel filter 8 to be removed and cleaned periodically, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the drying tunnel filter 8.

[0093] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the clothing processing equipment is a dryer. The clothing processing equipment includes a housing 1, a drum 2, a door 6, and a filter device 4.

[0094] The box 1 is provided with a clothing inlet 12; the bucket 2 is located inside the box 1 and has a clothing processing chamber that communicates with the clothing inlet 12; the door 6 is rotatably connected to the box 1 and is used to close or open the clothing inlet 12; the bucket 2 is provided with a drying tunnel that communicates with the clothing processing chamber; the filter device 4 is located at the bottom of the clothing inlet 12 and includes a mounting body 41 and a filter screen 42. The mounting body 41 has a first connecting port 411 that communicates with the clothing processing chamber and a second connecting port 412 that communicates with the drying tunnel. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed in the mounting body 41 and is located between the first connecting port 411 and the second connecting port 412.

[0095] To distinguish the drying tunnel of this embodiment from the drying tunnel of the above embodiments, the drying tunnel of this embodiment can be called the second drying tunnel, that is: a second drying tunnel 9 is provided inside the barrel 2, and the second drying tunnel 9 is connected to the clothing processing chamber; the filter device 4 is provided at the bottom of the clothing inlet 12, and the filter device 4 includes an installation body 41 and a filter screen 42. The installation body 41 has a first connecting port 411 connected to the clothing processing chamber and a second connecting port 412 connected to the second drying tunnel 9. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed in the installation body 41 and is located between the first connecting port 411 and the second connecting port 412.

[0096] This configuration allows humid air from the garment processing chamber to enter the mounting body 41 through the first connecting port 411, be filtered by the filter screen 42 in the mounting body 41, and then enter the second drying tunnel 9 through the second connecting port 412. The second drying tunnel 9 is used to heat and dry the humid air. The heated and dried air can then be circulated back into the garment processing chamber, thereby achieving the function of blowing hot air into the garment processing chamber to heat and dry the garments in the garment processing chamber.

[0097] In a specific implementation, the first connecting port 411 can be formed at the bottom of the clothing inlet 12 and connected to the clothing inlet 12. The second connecting port 412 can be located below the first connecting port 411 and correspond to and connect to the first connecting port 411. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed between the first connecting port 411 and the second connecting port 412.

[0098] Among them, reference Figure 12 As shown, the filter screen 42 can be connected to the door body 6 and rotates with the door body 6. When the door body 6 is opened, the filter screen 42 is pulled out from the mounting body 41, and when the door body 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41. That is to say, the filter screen 42 is pulled out from the mounting body 41 as the door body 6 is opened, and the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41 as the door body 6 is closed.

[0099] This design enables the filter screen 42 to be linked with the door 6. When the door 6 is opened, the filter screen 42 can be pulled out along with it, allowing users to easily see the degree of dirt on the filter screen 42 and clean it in a timely manner. This ensures the filter screen 42 is clean and prevents excessive lint from accumulating and clogging it. Furthermore, after each wash or dry, the filter screen 42 is pulled out simultaneously when the door is opened to remove the clothes, eliminating the need for additional disassembly and making the process more convenient for the user.

[0100] It should be noted that the filter screen 42 can be fixedly connected to the door body 6, or it can be detachably connected to the door body 6 by magnetic attraction or other means. For details, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0101] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 As shown, the mounting body 41 has an insertion port 413 for inserting the filter screen 42, and the insertion port 413 is positioned facing the door body 6 when the door body 6 is closed. That is, when the door body 6 is closed, the insertion port 413 is positioned facing the door body 6. This is so that the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 through the insertion port 413, or pulled out of the mounting body 41 through the insertion port 413.

[0102] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with an installation port 11 that corresponds to and communicates with the insertion port 413. The filter screen 42 is detachably installed in the installation body 41 through the installation port 11 and the insertion port 413. When the door 6 is closed, the installation port 11 is sealed.

[0103] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 As shown, a front support 10 is provided at the clothing inlet 12 to support the bucket body 2, and the mounting body 41 is integrally formed on the front support 10. This arrangement facilitates the manufacturing of the mounting body 41 and the installation and fixing of the filter screen 42 at the clothing inlet 12.

[0104] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 As shown, the housing 1 has a front sealing door 13, with both the clothing inlet 12 and the mounting port 11 located on the front sealing door 13, and the mounting port 11 positioned below the clothing inlet 12. Specifically, a filter screen 42 is connected to the side surface of the door 6 facing the clothing inlet 12 and is flush with the mounting port 11 in the height direction of the clothing processing equipment. That is, the filter screen 42 connected to the door 6 and the mounting port 11 on the housing 1 are at the same height, ensuring that when the door 6 is closed, the filter screen 42 can be inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11.

[0105] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 As shown, the filter screen 42 has a connecting end and a plug-in end. The connecting end is connected to the door body 6, and the plug-in end extends outward from the connecting end in a direction away from the door body 6. In a specific implementation, in order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the filter screen 42 into the mounting body 41, the plug-in end of the filter screen 42 can extend horizontally outward from the connecting end in a direction away from the door body 6.

[0106] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, "suspension" means that the insertion end of the filter screen 42 is formed as a free end, and is set to extend away from the door body 6 relative to the connection end.

[0107] Continue to refer to Figure 12 As shown, the door 6 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a pivot. The filter screen 42 has a first side and a second side, with the first side positioned away from the pivot relative to the second side. The first side is formed into an arc shape. This arrangement allows the filter screen 42 to be smoothly inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11 during the rotation of the door 6.

[0108] Specifically, by setting the side of the filter screen 42 away from the rotating shaft to an arc shape, the first side of the filter screen 42 gradually moves closer to the second side of the filter screen 42 along the direction from the connecting end to the insertion end. That is, the width of the filter screen 42 gradually narrows along the direction from the connecting end to the insertion end. This setting is to avoid interference between the first side of the filter screen 42 and the mounting port 11 on the housing 1 during the rotation of the door 6, thereby ensuring that the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the mounting body 41.

[0109] Of course, in specific implementation, the shape of the filter screen 42 is not limited to the above-mentioned limitations. It can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, as long as the filter screen 42 can be smoothly inserted into the installation body 41 through the installation port 11.

[0110] In some embodiments, the mounting body 41 is provided with an insertion port 413 corresponding to and communicating with the mounting port 11, and the mounting body 41 forms a mounting recess 414 at the insertion port 413; the filter screen 42 includes a filter screen body and a mounting protrusion, the mounting protrusion is connected to the door body 6, the filter screen body has a connecting end and a plug-in end, the connecting end is connected to the mounting protrusion, and the plug-in end extends outward from the connecting end in a direction away from the door body 6. In a specific implementation, the filter screen 42 can extend horizontally outward from the door body 6 in a direction away from the door body 6.

[0111] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 As shown, a sealing rib 424 is provided on the mounting protrusion. The filter screen body is inserted into the mounting body 41 through the mounting port 11 and the insertion port 413 in sequence. The sealing rib 424 abuts against the mounting recess 414 to seal. This arrangement ensures that the filter screen 42 is sealed between the mounting port 11 and the mounting body 41 by the sealing rib 424 abutting against the mounting recess 414, preventing water flowing into the mounting body 41 from overflowing from the mounting port 11.

[0112] In specific implementation, the sealing rib 424 can be an annular sealing rib. The annular sealing rib is set on the side surface of the mounting protrusion facing the filter body and surrounds the filter body so that it abuts against the mounting recess 414 to form a circumferential seal and ensure the reliability of the seal.

[0113] In some embodiments, the filter screen 42 is detachably connected to the door body 6. This arrangement allows the user to easily remove the filter screen 42 from the door body 6 for cleaning. Of course, in specific implementations, the filter screen 42 can also be fixed to the door body 6, meaning the user cannot remove the filter screen 42 from the door body 6. This avoids problems such as the user removing the filter screen 42 and then forgetting to install it, resulting in the inability to filter the discharged washing water using the filter device 4.

[0114] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 As shown, mounting grooves 417 are provided on two opposite sides of the mounting body 41, and the filter screen 42 is inserted into the mounting body 41 along the mounting grooves 417. This design makes the removal and installation of the filter screen 42 smoother.
